which catagory do you put brain injuries into? mental health or physical health?


Question:
my husband has a brain injury and although this has not affected his physical apperance it has affected his mental health. i just find it hard to decide into which catagory he falls as he is classed as disabled and has mental health issues.....you decide!

Answers:
Well the brain injury was caused by something physical,he was either in an accident or banged his head through no fault of his own,and this has affected his mental health,so to me it is a physical injury that lead to minor or severe mental health problems,oh heck you've got me all confused now lol,but i'am a member of Headway (brain injury) as i had a blood clot removed from my brain in 2000,but i have been one of the luckier ones,as apart from not being able to cope with too much at once i'am ok,now i no the answer it is definitely physical as this is what has caused the mental issues,i hope you can make sense of all that,if you haven't heard of Headway do ask as it's a great place to be,you have lots of fun there also they take you out on trips,byeeeee
I would say both.
